Gloomy Day by taffy

Gloomy Day

Story 1. I have been carefully waiting and watching leaves gather on our stairs and sidewalk, careful not to disturb them, so I at the right moment, I could capture a good image of the feelings of fall.
Story 2. Someone needs to sweep and rake...no one in either unit in our little two unit condo is stepping up. So unlike most of the houses/flats on our street, ours remains full of leaves.
Question: Which do you think is closest to fact?
Main album shows the sky more or less starting to clear toward the end of the day: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-10-17
Wonderful composition! Irrespective of the reason the leaves are there, they offer the perfect photo opportunity!

Hmmmmmm.that is difficult.i love the image so I am going to go with one.But the truth is probably closer to 2.This is a fav for me!

Nice. No 1, of course :)

Delightful. I say this is the fruit of your patience.
October 18th, 2013  
Good for waiting. It worked out really well.
October 18th, 2013

October 18th, 2013  
Stunning shot!

Beauty in ordinarily things, soft editing and pleasing tones

1! Because you are in 365 and we are all photo-obsessed. :)

@archaeofrog Ummmm....wish I could say yes. More a combination. I did photograph it every day for 4 days though!! But really, one of us needs to clean up our little yard. It's getting embarrassing!
October 18th, 2013  
I'd say it's a little of both! Love it!

@susale Thanks Suse -- for your comment here and on my other photos. I really appreciate them!

Instant fav. This is such a good fall shot. Love the leaves in each corner, gathering for a stormy autumn swirling party ;)

@stimuloog Thanks so much Marloes!

You can choose your story, just like the Life of Pi. I choose #1 and this lovely, patiently awaited glimpse of fall!.
October 19th, 2013  
very cool
October 19th, 2013  
Cool shot!
October 20th, 2013  
good composition
October 20th, 2013  
Oh, #1 for sure. Planning carefully for photographic opportunities is definitely a priority. I do like the composition so it was worth the careful waiting and the cooperation of the leaves to fall so nicely.

@jyokota Ah, but knowing us, you can guess the non-photographic truth!
October 21st, 2013  
@taffy -- but the truth is what we believe about our behaviors, not necessarily a reflection of reality.
October 21st, 2013  
@jyokota Ah...I like that thought.
